The police said abusive content was posted with different names on social media platforms. “They were doing it for the last six months and cases were registered with Hyderabad Cybercrime, Gopalapuram, Monda Market, Chandrayangutta and Amberpet police stations, ” he said.
In a democracy, opposition over political views was acceptable and healthy, but personal attacks on any person, including a woman, does not come under criticism.
Dr. Gajarao Bhupal said. “It is outright abuse and attracts legal provisions. If anyone is expressing his so-called views then they should not hide their identities, he said.
In many cases, the trouble mongers were using false identities to run the pages or channels and posting abusive or derogatory content. In certain instances it was being done from foreign countries, he added. (Maxim News)
